"There are rumours that Meta would become "Fediverse compatible". You could follow people on Instagram from your Mastodon account"

Are there examples of this? Or is this just the fear? This all seems like a knee jerk reaction to something we are already avoiding by being on Lemmy/mastodon. The point of having decentralized instances isn't popularity. It's to avoid the corporate bullshit, which is inherently less popular.

Corporations generally try to follow the three Es which is bad for the community as a whole
